I wonder how many parrots will have to die from this gentlemen’s bad example. Alcohol kills parrots. A pub is not a good home for them. I hope Basil finds a responsible new owner. One with any sense of these animals needs.

Hello, my name is Andrea Frost. My mother in law, Jean MacKinlay Frost was born in your building when it was an inn. Her father’s family owned the Pub and Inn back then when it was called the Black Bull. It is said that her father, George MacKinlay lost the place through gambling. I was there about 18 years ago and wanted to come in and ask if anyone remembered the true story, but could not get my nerve up. I was also wondering if you have any sign from the building with the name Black Bull that you do not use. If you do and would consider getting rid of it, please let me know. We live in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. My mother in law’s cousin, Effie Bowman, still lives in Haddington. I am hoping to return in October of this year. If I could, I would purchase the Pheasant from you and keep Basil right where he is. Thank you, Andrea Frost
